Unmatched driving quality

When it was introduced in 1998, the original Ford Focus brought new levels of
agility and responsiveness to the C-segment. The all-new Ford Focus plans to
raise the benchmark once more, targeting class-leading driving quality that
blends outstanding steering precision and road feedback with significantly
improved refinement and ride control.

To deliver this performance, engineers have updated the innovative suspension
concepts from prior models, developing optimized new designs for the "control
blade" multilink rear suspension and the semi-isolated front and rear subframes.

The chassis design is complemented by a completely new Electric Power Assist
Steering system, which has been carefully tuned to deliver pure and precise
responses at high speed while remaining light and maneuverable for parking.

Ford's European driving dynamics specialists have also enhanced cornering
stability and agility with the introduction of an advanced Dynamic Cornering
Control system, which uses "torque vectoring" techniques to transfer power
between the drive wheels to deliver reduced understeer, improved traction and
better turn-in.

All global customers will benefit from the same quality of dynamic
performance in the new Focus. Identical chassis and suspension architecture is
being used for all markets, except for minor regional tuning differences, such
as local tire specifications.
